Hell, let's use Joel Osteen as a fine example here... lives in a 10 million dollar mansion. He's a self-proclaimed servant of god. But doing good for the rest of the people? While living in luxury? I think not.
One only has to look at the leaders of any mega church to see that there is nothing selfless or heroic about the cars they drive or the houses they live in. That is, they are people who have learned how to use an imaginary figure to make a very fat profit off of the backs of countless followers whom are most likely suffering and barely able to make their own ends meet.
Again, what makes their 'god' and yours of the same stock, is that both do not reflect the God described in scripture. Yes maybe there's does share a few more similarities, but as these men leave their ministry their version will ultimately go with them. As they are the driving force behind their gods.
